Tajinder Pal Singh loses father before he could show him gold medal
NEW DELHI: It was just a matter of few hours for him, but shot putter Tajinder Pal Singh Toor this time missed the mark and the moment he had waited for so many years.
Having come back with the biggest prize of his career —a gold medal at the recently-concluded Asian Games — Toor was desperate to gift it to his ailing father who had been battling cancer for two years and who had made many sacrifices for his son.
But, as he left for Moga in Punjab after landing in Delhi from Jakarta on Monday evening, Toor got the shattering news that his father Karam Singh had expired.
Toor knew that his father’s health was deteriorating fast and so immediately left by road for Moga from Delhi, but barely a few kilometres away from his hometown, he got the dreaded news.
Toor couldn’t fulfil his father’s last wish which was to hold the gold medal his son had won for the country.
